This is designed to be a place for men to go to get simple answers to learn what God says about being a man, husband, and father. We want to encourage you in what you are trying to accomplish in your own life, and to find that encouragement in Christ. We aim to provide resources to help propel you in your growth and how to be a man of God.
You will find pages titled: A Man, A Husband, and A Father. On those pages, we have pulled together where in the bible it talks about being a man, a husband, and a father. I pray that these selections of scripture help make it easier to know exactly what God says and how to be a Godly man, husband, and father.
The section titled Christian Resources is a collection of churches, pastors, men’s groups, worship artists and groups, bibles and books to buy, apps to download, and podcasts to listen to. This is not an all-encompassing list but I pray that this propels you forward in your faith.
In addition, we highlight athletes and those in the public who speak out about God, Jesus, and their faith. The purpose of that is to not only share their incredible message but that it gives you courage to talk about your faith with other men, to grow God's kingdom.
Towards the bottom of the home page, you will find encouragement in the word of God. I pray that these verses give you encouragement, that you apply these to your life, and I challenge you to memorize these.
Thank you for your support. I pray that this helps grow your relationship with God. Please share this resource with anyone you can and help us Grow the Kingdom!
Philippians 3:12-14 - Straining Toward the Goal
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this in from yourselves, it is the gift from God - not by works, so that no one can boat.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all of this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
